is no better or more reliable man to deal
with than Dir. Sheldon, and the GOLD

attention to his house, but in commenting
it to those who may need anything III his
line.
Those enterprising young merchants
Barnes, StaiIback & Go, have just received
their third instalment Of ready made cl0tl =
ing, amounting to several thousand dollars
worth. Their sales have exceeded their ex-
pectatiOnS. In fact, the business they are
doing would make some people who DO
not advertise open their eyes if they could
but look over their account of sales each
day.
Mr.. &. r. Barnes, the very clever and
gentlemanIy advance agent of the Meyer

Oar butchers are slaughtering some very
fine beef cattle. When the stock law was
passed all those who were unfayoraDle TO
it predicted that 'tWOuld make bee scarcer
and Of poor quality. The effect has been
to greatly improve the quality if not tie
quantity and there is certainly no scarcity
al any time Cattle are better cared for

than ever before.

1t would be the proper thing for the
friends of Henderson Female College to

more trees there will soon be 4 we'll shaded
Campus and the friends of the college will
take more interest in it because they have

The hearts of our tobacco farmers are
iubilant over their success this year. Re
member that small acreage and good
cultivation did it, making the best grades
and hence good prices. When it comes time
to put in another crop don't over do the
thing expecting prices to rule high next
year An over production of inferior to-
bacco would send prices to the bottom again
mighty quick Remember that.
Subscribers who promised to pay their
subscriptions with wood, are cordially i'll
vited to bring it in. No wood, no paper.
Why? Becase no wood, no fire, and the
printers can't work in cold weather without
fuel in the stove. And then we must have
a little wood with which to cook the po-
tatoes and turnips that are occasionally
brought in, fer printers like other people
have to cat once and awhile. See?

Our friend John Jones is evidently as
successful in raising big turnips as he is il
telling "big tales judging from some
he has sent the GOLD LEAF. Three of the
finest averaged nearly four pounds piece
At least we so take it, as the grower said
they weighed little more than clever
pounds, and of course he did not expec
either us or our readers to believe one tur
nip would weigh that much. But join
Jones would stick to it if the GOLD LEAF
said so.
